Tasha White MFHT/MSMA                                                             Sports Massage Therapist - Pilates Teacher & Nutrition Coach

Hello, and welcome my name is Tasha; a Sports Therapist, Pilates Practitioner & Nutrition Coach.

Is Sports Massage Therapy for you?

Sports Massage is not only for people who enjoy sporting activities but also for those who like to look after their well-being.

Sports Massage is just a term for deeper massage treatment and techniques, used for injury management and rehabilitation.

We all suffer from time to time from aches and pains due to day-to-day activities, sports and our occupations.

Sports Massage, whether it be soft tissue release or deep tissue massage can help relieve and reduce these, whether caused by sport, injury or the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Wellness massages are very helpful when you just want to relax and give your body some extra TLC.

I have extensive knowledge and experience in health and fitness, and I am committed to helping my clients get the best results. I can assess sporting, occupational and recreational injuries, treat them and help with rehabilitation. Helping them get back to the activities they like pain-free.

If you are unsure whether Sports Massage Therapy is for you, please call me to have a chat and I'll gladly answer all your questions and discuss how I can help you. 

How it all began:

I started out over 35 years ago as a Fitness Instructor teaching Gym/Aerobics/Step/Circuit.  I competed in the ANB British Finals in the Athletic Figure category. I then qualified as a PT and worked part-time for many years. 

My sporting background is well-founded from my early 20's competing in weight training and cross-country running. 

I was a local club runner for many years and enjoyed ice skating, cycling, snowboarding, climbing mountains and much more.  Over the last four years, I have competed in Triathlon, from sprint to 70.3 Ironman.

Why I became obsessed with Sports Massage:

Back in 2014 even though I was really fit and healthy I started to suffer badly from Lower Back Pain and Sciatica after many months of pain, I had to undergo spinal surgery to remove L5/S1 disc that had herniated and that was trapping my nerve and causing the pain; apparently, wear and tear of many years training. 

This is when I became obsessed with Sports Massage; ensuring that I recovered completely and was able to return to Triathlon.  I had lots of Sports Massage Therapy whilst studying for the ITEC L3 qualification and thankfully I am now fully fit and back in training.  I still get niggles but Sports Massage Therapy helps to keep them at bay. 

I qualified as a Level 4 YMCA HNC Sports Massage Therapist in 2018 and on the more Holistic side of massage, I am qualified to use Hot Stones, whereby I use volcanic rocks imported from Europe; which are so relaxing and fantastic to use.

Training and Qualifications:

I have been studying to increase my knowledge and experience as a Sports Massage Therapist, for over 9 years, completing diplomas, certificates and CPD courses.  I am highly qualified and insured. I have recently qualified as a Pilates Practitioner and Nutrition Coach.

I have recently enrolled in a 3-year BTEC L6 Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy course.

The Jing Method™ of Advanced Clinical Massage is a unique outcome-based system for addressing chronic musculoskeletal pain through a tried and tested fusion of advanced soft tissue and massage techniques from both East and West. I'm already using the techniques to help my clients and they were very please with the outcome.
